I piss my friends off by making them put seatbelts on, I don’t give a fuuuuuuck.
Make everyone always wear their safety gear, be it in the car, on the bike, at the workplace. Make them. Always. Do not allow anyone to omit anytime, never ever.
Anon could be fucking his happy girlfriend of five years right now if he had followed this simple rule.
I dated someone a long time ago and when they first got into my car, I waited for them to put their seatvrlt on. They refused. I told them the car isn’t moving until their seatbelt is on, and if they take it off, the car stops.
I used basically the same strategy when my dad first lit a cigarette in my car.
This thing isn’t moving an inch if you smoke and I’ll stop if you light it again.Times have changed. They thankfully don’t even smoke in their own car anymore.
I vividly remember the hell of road trips with both my parents smoking with the windows up and I’m not dealing with this in my own car or home.> on highway, another car is driving right behind
> you hear clickI stop
Wow you’re a dick. Imagine forcing people to do something. Instead you should just boot them out of said vehicle if they don’t want to wear one.
Your way is the dictatorial cretin way.
Instead you should just boot them out of said vehicle if they don’t want to wear one.
That’s pretty much what they meant and not whatever use of force you imagined.
When I see comments this psychotic I always hope it’s just trolling… But then I look at the world and see that no, there really are millions of morons and this could be real.
Your ancestors were probably slave owners. Fucking idiot.
Yeah, I mean, it’s possible. My family is from Germany and hasn’t been in America since the time of slaves, but who knows, anything is possible.
Well I don’t understand why people don’t wear seat belts. Isn’t that even illegal? In Germany the driver can be hold accountable for people not wearing the seat belts.
Child mentality. They claim the seatbelt is annoying on the neck or big government things. Perhaps, but being an adult is also about doing what is nessesary for you and your family.
I’ve even seen people try to say it’s somehow more dangerous because of ridiculous anecdotal experience like “Well I knew this guy who got into a massive roll over accident while drunk and he couldn’t escape because of his seatbelt”. Yeah man the seatbelt was the problem here…

Not that these extreme scenarios are always told from the perspective of the idiot that survived despite not using a seatbelt.
First responders and ER doctors disagree on these accounts. Vehicles are literally designed to collapse around the passengers. That doesn’t work if the seatbelt isn’t keeping them in the safety zone.

In the US, the specifics depend on the state. It’s often not “primary enforcement”, which means you can’t be pulled over specifically for that, but it can be added on when pulled over for something else. In some states, yes, the driver can be held responsible for passengers not having seatbelts on. It may also matter if the passenger is a minor.
Primary enforcement of seatbelt laws tends to make it more likely for black people to be pulled over. It’s amazing how many good ideas get ruined by racism once you dig into the details.
Possible case : me. I often forget my seat belt. Fortunately, most people remind me about it and then I immediately fasten it.
The reason is simple. I think I use a car, always as a passenger, like 3 times a year. When I used to drive, it was such an automatic gesture I’d never forget it. But it’s so easy to forget when it becomes very rare. Everything is hypnotizing when you enter a car. I’m glad the driver reminds me, but I could be OP’s lost one.
holy hell. when i’m behind the wheel, the vehicle does not move before everyone is strapped in.
In my country the driver is liable for passengers not wearing their seatbelt. The fine is around €60 per passenger. Most people just pay this back to the driver, but if somebody decides not to, the driver can’t do anything about that.
In my country, the driver is fined either way, and the passenger is also fined if they have a license (and thus should know better). Seems to work well enough
Oof. The double dip.
Put on your fuckin’ seat belt and you won’t get double dipped
It looks more like corruption and unnecessary punishments.
But why even draw the line there? Why not multiply the fines for each person without a seatbelt? 3 People without a seatbelt when the normal fine is €50? Sure lets triple that, and then give each of those 3 people a €150 fine. You know what? Let’s multiply it by every person that has already been fined before.
Stupid police states and their delusional “keeping you safe by taking away your money and drivers license”. What an absolute dystopian joke.
I am the last person to defend cops, and you can easily confirm that by going through my posting history. But seatbelts? Shut the fuck up and put on your fucking seatbelt.
I’m talking about fining the others as well.
Being fined for not wearing a seatbelt isn’t a police state lmfao
Gtfo with that libertarian shit
I’m talking about fining the others as well.
Sorry buddy but your bullshit argument dies when it endangers others. Not wearing a seatbelt isn’t just a you problem when you come flying out of the front windshield. Grow up cunt.
in my country the passenger is responsible for their own seatbelt if they are over 15. for passengers under 15 it’s their parent. if the parent is not present, only then it’s the driver.
Other than just not drive. Which is a very valid choice.
If your country has decent public transit ofcourse.
Even then. Dude who refuses can either buckle up, or walk. You don’t buckle, we all don’t get there. See how you get treating your “friends” like that.
Anon needs some therapy, goddamn.
Doctor prescribed Zelda Minish Cap tho
Legitimately a valid prescription. Play on, gamers. :3
Who needs therapy when you’ve got 4chan?
I’ve been in two crashes where nobody was hurt but probably somebody would have died if they weren’t wearing a seatbelt.
I have grown ass adult friends who legitimately think seatbelts are dangerous 😔
